Chattogram City Corporation Location of South Kattali Ward in the North-West. It is bounded on the South by 26 No. North Halishahar Ward, on the east by 12 No. Saraipara Ward and 25 No. Rampur Ward, on the north by 10 No. North Kattali Ward and on the West by Bay of Bengal.

South Kattali, historically part of the larger Kattali region on the western side of Chattogram, developed as a coastal settlement influenced by its proximity to the Bay of Bengal and the Karnaphuli river port zone. The area gradually expanded during the late 20th century as urbanization spread from the industrial belt of Pahartali and Halishahar.

The ward was formally incorporated into the administrative structure of the Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) after the city’s municipal expansion phases, which reorganized local governance into 41 wards. With increasing population growth, residential development, and the rise of small industries, South Kattali evolved into a mixed residential and semi-industrial neighborhood.

In recent decades, infrastructural improvements—including road expansion, educational institutions, and commercial centers—have contributed to the ward’s transformation. Today, South Kattali plays an important role as a link between the port-adjacent industrial zones and the northern residential areas of Chattogram.
